The three at the bottom of the heap were

fully one and half hours to get the upper

tatiOn in expressing their deep regret at
his death.
amark OF respect to his memory the
flags on the public buildings were placed
at half mast and Mayor Whitney had the
City Hall bell tolled.
The committee appointed by the officers
of Plymouth Church last Sunday to take
charge of the funeral, made the necessary
arrangement this morning and in Difference
to the deceased's wish wreath of flowers
was hung on the door bell instead OF the
customary crepe drapery.
Many years ago Mr.. John T. Howard
gave Mr.. Beecher portion of his plot In
Greenwood Cemetery, and the members Of
Mr.. Beecher's family who have died have
been buried there, but the committee will
probably now select another plot.
DIR. Searle said to reporter: ''The i'm
mediate cause of Mr. Beecher's death was
not from the stoppage of the heart, but
from asphyxis, said to be p SEN
sation like a troubled dreatN. The
family is all in good health. Mrs. Beecher
remains calm and composed"
One of the first persons to arrive at the
house was Mayor Whitney. He did not
enter. but sent his card and coincidence TO
Mrs. Beecher. A large number OF friends
of the family called at the residence this
morning to extend sympathy to the be-
reaved family. Telegraph boys were con-
stantly climbing the high steps to the
house, bringing messages from friends in
private and public life. Among the tele-
grams received were the following:

THOSE Chicago Ministers OF the Gospel,
who refused to send a message Of con-
dolence to Mr.. BEECHER on account of his
belief, are the subjects OF severe criticism.
Their boasted doctrines will, it appears,
never bring them TO the poOrhouse through
an Oyerplus OF Christian charity. The
talk of some Of these ministers in regard
10 Mr.. BEECHER reminds one OF very
dirty political campaign.
